SYDNEY — The Cape Breton Screaming Eagles completed a trio of moves just before Quebec Major Junior Hockey League trade deadline ended on Saturday.

Gone are 19-year-old Glace Bay native Logan Shaw who was traded to the Quebec Remparts for a pair of young players, and 20-year-old forward David Rose to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar for a 2013 third round draft pick.

“It’s not easy trading a player like Logan,” Screaming Eagles General Manager Pierre Roux said in a press release.

“But I think he has a good chance to sign with Florida and we were able to get two good young players in return so I made the deal with Quebec.”

Education reasons were behind the Rose deal.

Roux said Rose approached him Thursday about the possibility of a trade because he needed a special course that would enable him to enter McGill University next year.

“Education is important to David and to our organization and he was unable to receive the course he needed through correspondence so we honoured his request for a trade to a team in Quebec.”

Coming to Cape Breton in the Shaw deal are defenseman Simon Desmarais and forward Raphael Corriveau.

BJ , you have no idea what your talking about ... Yea the eagles have made some bad trades in the past , but this isnt close to being one of them ... this is called a rebuild move , you obviousley know nothing about hockey , jr hockey especially , and why would you come on here and say your a share holder ... which you spelt wrong like pretty much everything elce in your stupid rant , either your 10 years old or a complete idiot so i doubt thats true , i hate you people ... Were 2 maybe 3 years away from being a true contender and you guys still wont shut up ... you want everything to happen now , rebuilding takes time , and were close.Go Eagles

They should of done this 3 years ago... Its great to see a rebuilding year!!... I just wishing I would see Paul MacDonald and the Marketing staff changed...Even though the team is rebulding there is NO excuse to have no one in the stands... It would be nice to have upper boal seats for children for $5 to build a fan base or.... Offer a full section to schools at a very low price to get the kids interested.... I think the team would play much better with a full house!!!! Time for change in the office!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok here we go again ,the trading deadline is over and now what ,is our coach going to share his plan with us for the remainer of the year, and his plans on next year. i know people to not want to hear the same line that we have heard from 1 year to the next year ,in referring to ,well we are rebuilding our team with young players who can stay and play as an eagles and develope into a very good player for the screaming eagles organizing.
i would bet in a year or so if the eagles are not a top notch team in the Q- LEAGUE,and a contender ,that eagles fans will sure but slowly not renew there tickets for the eagles hockey years to come.
i think the owners ,and the organization for the eagles should stop making excuses from year to year .. wake up owners and either soent some money to bring in a decent team and a contender ,, the eagle fans have been supporting your organization for years and have tried to be patient with the same old stories we are told from one season to the next .. PLEASE !!!! OWNERS THINK ABOUT THE MONEY ALOT OF US ARE PUTTING OUT OVER AND OVER AND TRYING TO BE HOPEFULL THAT OR EAGLES WILL SOME DAY REWARD US.
TIME FOR YOU AS THE OWNERS TO WORK TOGETHER AND SPENT SOME MONEY INTO THE EAGLES ORGANIZING ,RATHER THEN JUST PUT YOUR HEAD UP IN THE AIR AN SAY OOO!!! I AM A PART SHARE HOLDING OF THE EAGLES!!
I AM NOT RUNNING OUR NEW COACHING STAFF DOWN COMPLETELY ,YOU OWNERS HAVE MORE SAY THEN THE COACHING STAFF.
OWN COACH WAS BOUNCED AROUND FROM ONE TEAM TO THE NEXT ,AND WE ALL KNOW WHY MORE COACHES ARE ASKED TO LEAVE A TEAM.. ITS HAS TO BE THERE NOT DOING THE JOB RIGHT ..
EAGLE ORGANIZING DIDN;T EVEN LOOK AT THAT PART WHEN HIRING A NEW COACH... LEAVE IT TO THE EAGLES TO BRING IN LEFT OVERS ... EAGLES ARE KNOWN FOR MAKING SOME STUPID DECISIONS .
NOTHING AGAIN OUR NEW COACH AT ALL .I DO HOPE YOU CAN DO THE JOB AND WHATEVER YOUR PLAN MAY BE IN THE FUTURE ,I HOPE HE TURNS OUT ALOT BETTER THEN IT DID WHEN YOU WERE IN LEWISNAN,AND BATHURT....
PS.. GOOD LUCK TO YOU LOGAN AND ROSE .AS 19 AND 20 YEARS OLDS YOU DESERVE THE BEST CHANGE IN DEVELOPING WITH OTHER SKILLED LINEMATES AND GETTING THE CHANGE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!! GOOD LUCK GUYS!!

Ryan- I take it you one of the many people around here who: A) don't know anything about jr hockey. B) Do have a clue that eagles need to trade away players to start rebuilding the team after Mario messed things up. I hate how people who don't go to games or don't understand Jr hockey are the one making a big deal over this. The eagles are 2-3 years away from being contenders and making a big push to host the memorial cup.
